McDonalds uses a potato cannon to make fries - they can mass produce them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfZLWEAiixo They are also dipped in dextrose for colour and Sodium Acid P…

If only George Carlin were still alive. I’m sure he’d have seven words to use to respond to this...

The original point I was trying to make was that this tech was already deployed in consumer facing technology that is just waiting to be turned on.

Did you not watch the video? I call a car that is cornering, accelerating/braking, actively dealing with traffic and finally parking itself a self driving vehicle.

Given there are auto manufacturers[1] that already exist with self driving cars, I'm going to go ahead and say its not a meme and more just a technology in the process of being ful…

That doesn't seem to be a manufacturer issue though is it? In case of tablets, my partner is still using her iPad 2 and Netflix has a version of their app that still runs on that. …

Yes. My vision isn't great, so I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to the 5 because of the larger screen, and the 5 to the 6+ due to a larger screen. Really, the screen size has been the m…

>> Devices shouldn’t become outdated every year. They should evolve with you. I really don't understand this sentiment. I've still got my iPhone 6 Plus. I haven't seen the need to …

To be honest, I think catchall solutions work best. I'm more likely to pay for content, if I can just pay 1 or 2 places. When I heard that Disney was leaving Netflix, I'm not incli…

Someone really needs to create a patent that defines methods of patent trolling, so every time one of these scumbags starts a lawsuit you can sue them.

In an open system, how do you ensure basic safety needs are met - eg, do drivers have licenses? I sure as hell am not getting into a car with an unlicensed driver

Probably none. By having an open system, prices will invariably get pushed down (better for end users) which will deincentivize drivers (worse for end users) There may be some equi…

In respect to outsourcing our health to doctors, that is for very good reasons. People are shown to be completely deficient when trying to look out for themselves in this regard.

It's not about the government getting access to a tool like this, Apple specifically doesn't want to create a tool that can easily defeat its own security, to then hand over to the…

Thank you for the article. Very informative

We've seen violent Christian fundamentalists recently with the Colorado Planned Parenthood shootings. While many around the world consider that a terrorist activity, it had not bee…

Well I have to admit, my understanding of what constitutes terrorism was not solid, so I googled it. It seems the statements don't necessarily need to be political in nature. The F…
